Although it was only 8 o’clock in the morning, the temperature was already rising over 30 degrees, clouds of red Kalahari sand swirling around us, as we were driving through the dusty African township. During apartheid, these villages were strictly controlled enclaves enclosed by a fence, with miles of long lines of miserable slums, shanty wooden and metal shacks reserved exclusively for the impoverished black population. After apartheid government built new houses with water, electricity and sewage, but they still resemble a ghetto with high unemployment, disease and violence, in which white people rarely venture.

I participated as a lecturer in Harmony program on the island of Pašman in Croatia. It was an interesting experience.

Harmony program is a complete psychological and physical relaxation program accompanied by cleansing the physical body and harmonising the energy body by means of: a balanced vegetarian diet, teas made of herbs that grow on the island, morning exercises, seminars, circle dance and other dance workshops. Nature on the island provides additional cleansing with its elements of water, air, earth and fire.
